Unit Descriptor
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to proactively experiment and innovate with various painting techniques and ideas to develop an individual style or voice.
Application of the Unit
People with a command of painting techniques apply the skills and knowledge in this unit. They may produce work at a pre-professional level for sale in a range of outlets, such as markets and fairs.
At this level, work is undertaken independently with supervision and guidance as required.
Licensing/Regulatory Information
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Pre-Requisites
Not applicable.
Employability Skills Information
This unit contains employability skills.
Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content

Element |
Performance Criteria |
|
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
|
1. Develop proficiency with a range of painting techniques and media |
1.1 Evaluate the potential for new approaches to painting based on capabilities of techniques already used 1.2 Adapt or introduce new tools, equipment and materials to achieve different effects 1.3 Extend the capabilities of painting techniques through experimentation 1.4 Take account of the safety and sustainability considerations for different techniques and media |
|
2. Develop ideas for paintings |
2.1 Articulate creative and other goals for painting work 2.2 Research , adapt and use relevant ideas and approaches from other practitioners with consideration of intellectual property requirements 2.3 Apply knowledge of different painting techniques to inform ideas 2.4 Allow techniques and ideas to work together to inform each other 2.5 Consider the professional potential and other criteria for work when developing ideas 2.6 Refine and confirm ideas based on experimentation, research and collaboration with others |
|
3. Organise painting resources |
3.1 Assess specific resource requirements for the chosen work 3.2 Research and access potential sources of supply for painting resources 3.3 Evaluate cost and other constraints that impact on the development of work 3.4 Evaluate and respond to presentation considerations for finished paintings 3.5 Set up or coordinate resource requirements according to safety and other workplace requirements |
|
4. Create finished paintings |
4.1 Create paintings, using techniques and media selected from research and experimentation 4.2 Review and refine ideas and approaches based on ongoing experience with the production of work 4.3 Use safe and sustainable work practices throughout the production of paintings 4.4 Document and record the development of the work and the research and ideas that inform it |
|
5. Evaluate own painting work |
5.1 Reflect on own work in terms of conceptual development and technical execution 5.2 Identify areas for future improvement especially in terms of own skill development 5.3 Discuss completed work with others and respond positively to feedback |
